Watching the evening news, I was astonished to see yet another Angry Asian Gun Man at work, so I followed my usual leads with Glenn Beck pointing to Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air which pointed to TMZ. It looks like one James Jay Lee who looks, is named, and writes wacked out manifestos like a Chinese American who dresses up in looking like a paramilitary UPS guy walked into the Discovery Channel offices with 2 backpacks and what looked like 2 pipe bombs. He threatened 3 hostages and was promptly dispatched by police and is no longer a Living Person.

My usual analysis is that with the usual news emphasis on alleged Islamic terrorists being busted in the US, Canada and Amsterdam, you’ll never see an Asian guy threatening to kill or blow up somebody or someone in the name of God, but this guy comes awfully close. Seems he’s a worshipper of the extreme environmentalist variety, against immigrants (which is odd coming from a member of an ethnic group that is mostly immigrant), against population and baby shows, and against wars and shows like “Future Weapons” and “Mail/Male Call” which are MY favorite shows. This guy is definitely not your average Asian American studies program graduate. While the nice font and graphics might get the guy a nice webmaster job, his manifesto certainly wouldn’t get him into Stanford or Harvard if that was his admissions essay, that’s for sure. It’s certainly no worse than the weird stuff that creeped people out at Virginia Tech.

I’m sure we’ll be finding out more about this guy, and I’ll update. But being the guy who’s up on Asian statistics and stereotypes, I wonder if this guy had parents who thought he was a failure for not getting into University of Where-ever, for not marrying Miss Perfect Asian girlfriend, if he was ever spurned by Miss not-Asian, and if this guy was partially alienated for not fitting in with either as an honorary white guy, or not having any friends-that-looked-like-him. The guy’s written English looks like that of a kid who was born, or nearly born in America, and certainly I don’t think any immigrant is going to produce anything like that in their English writing course final essay

Correction Sept 7, 2010: According to translation of http://www.koreadaily.com/news/read.asp?art_id=1080972 he has a "Korean father and Japanese mother" I forgot the "Lee rule": Lee is most likely Korean (with Park and Kim), Chinese, or Confederate.
I didn't mention the other "Angry Asian Men" who I think fit this unusual pattern since it seems we get about one Chinese or Korean going off on a mass shooting each year or so, even though Asians are still in the single-digit population percentage. The most famous was the Virginia Tech shootings of April 2007 by Korean-American Seung-Hui Cho. The massacre of 32 before killing himself was the deadliest peacetime shooting incident by a single gunman in the US by anybody. By comparison, Major Nidal Malik Hasan (technically of "Western Asian" descent) killed 13 at Fort Hood which everybody EXCEPT the Obama administration from the FBI to the Pentagon called the deadliest terrorist attack since 9/11. I suspect both Fort Hood and the Mumbai massacres were inspired as much by Cho in its methods as by radical Islam in motive. In April 3 of 2009, Jiverly Antares Wong (aka Jiverly Voong, evidently Chinese) killed fourteen people, including himself at a Binghamton New York immigration center. Just days later, 69 year old John Suchan Chong (sounds Chinese) attacked KoreanAm campers at the Kkottongnae Retreat Camp in Temecula about 85 miles from Los Angeles, killing one woman before being bludgeoned himself by other campers. The once beloved handyman pled not guilty, explaining "he was unhappy with the other volunteers because he felt they treated him disrespectfully and did not do their fair share of work." At least he doesn't hate babies.

Now the federally funded National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (Start) at the University of Maryland has declared that the Discovery attack qualifies as terrorist act, and is the first case they've seen of what looks like an environmentally inspired suicide bomber in the world. Including Lee, that's four Angry Asian Men right killing nearly 50 people in 3 years. That far exceeds the total of 13 at Fort Hood and 2 at the Little Rock recruiting station that have been even claimed by the radical Jihad.

Lee was also spotted with another sign"The Hell with the Troops Disarm them and make them clean up depleted uranium" hanging out with Veterans Against The War who said he was not with them. The depleted uranium issue is something largely promoted by the Islamist-friendly left like Chris Busby and Leuren Moret:

James Lee, Discovery Channel Gunman's Protest Past

James Lee seen at an anti-war rally in front of the White House the day before the Obama Inauguration in 2009. On September 1, 2010, Lee held three people hostage at the Discovery Channel in Silver Spring, Md.

(Credit: Shepherd Johnson)

He was the most vocal protester at an anti-war rally that marched from Washington D.C.'s DuPont Circle on the last day of the Bush administration, January 19, 2009. But James J. Lee's message that day seemed a little bit off.

Amid the signs for anti-war groups like Veterans for Peace and Code Pink, he held aloft a sign that seemed a little off-message and covered with human skulls. It read: "The Hell with the Troops. Disarm them and make them CLEAN UP DEPLETED URANIUM."

"People thought that he was strange. Or that he was a plant, someone to make it look like the anti-war people were anti-troop protesters," said Shepherd Johnson, a Virginia native who was also marching that day. Johnson snapped pictures of Lee because, "he had a weird sign and had a loud bullhorn."

When Johnson shot the photos back in 2009, Lee was marching alone and shouting loudly into his megaphone. "People who were with Veterans for Peace were telling bystanders, 'he's not with us.'" Johnson said he felt a little uneasy when he realized it was the same guy because the protest that day ended up in front of the White House. In the photos you can clearly see the viewing stand on Pennsylvania Avenue where President Obama and his family stood the next day to watch the inaugural parade.

See James Lee in the YouTube Video Below.

The Hell WIth The Troops 1-19-2009 James J. Lee - the Discovery Channel gunman

If NO ONE agrees with me, I'll be standing there all alone like a fool and then I'll leave and you'll not hear from me again. The public will have spoken that they are happy with the Discovery Channel and that's IT.

When he held the protest, he claimed he wasn't alone, but admitted only “a couple” of others showed. He said, “I am seriously bummed at the turnout.” In later days, he had more fellow protestors -- but it turned out they were justhomeless people he'd paid to join him. He later admitted this, but said “What's wrong with paying the homeless to protest?”

He was convicted of disorderly conduct (but not littering) and sentenced to probation. He also was ordered to stay at least 500 feet away from the Discovery building. Here's more from the forum about his reasons for the protests:

“The Discovery Channel produces a lot of shows about saving the planet that all have one thing in common: They don’t work. Why don’t they have REAL shows about SAVING THE PLANET? Have you ever noticed the crap they have on their network about just about everything else but that? They glorify fishermen who are overfishing the planet, they glorify Weapons of Mass Destruction. They highlight shows about people who build pollution machines and other environmentally harmful practices. What’s next? Whaling the Planet with Modern Whalers???

“If their ‘environmental’ shows are actually working, then why is the news about the environment getting worse? It should be getting better if they were doing their job and we should be seeing that reflected on the nightly news."

Lee Throws Wads of Cash in Silver Springs

In Loving Memory of James Jay Lee (1967 -- September 1, 2010) , an American hero and patriot.

Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture. Civilization must be exposed for the filth it is. All human procreation must cease!Also, war must be halted. Not because it's morally wrong, but because of the catastrophic environmental damage modern weapons cause to other creatures. FIND SOLUTIONS JUST LIKE THE BOOK SAYS! Humans are supposed to be inventive. INVENT, DAMN YOU!! The humans? The planet does not need humans. These are the demands and sayings of Lee.

This is the same video posted by a channel named for the Korean-American Virginia Tech shooter, which is the same user who has also posted tributes to Cho as well on dozens of channels with similar Asian American themes, some with hateful 9-11 parodies and Jihad videos show US soldiers being attacked by mujahideen by IEDs. I suspect this is none other than Kenneth "Why I Hate Black People" Eng who publically praised Cho and announced he'd like to pull a similar violent act. It makes me wonder if this Eng fellow is somehow connected to these disparate incidents. No one has heard from him since he posted these videos.

$200,000 Save the Planet ESSAY CONTEST!!!!!

Hi folks! Well, I'm back! They held me for 2 weeks! Can you believe it??? What's up with that? Anyway, as you all probably know, they didn't let me finish the $200,000 Essay Contest I was holding. So I am now going to have it online. It's actually $200,000 PLUS $10,000 in CASH!

Which poster said "strap a fake bomb onto your body and take hostages" cuz I think that guy won.... as did humanity for seeing an enviro-whackjob do the world a favor by exiting prematurely.

For all you followers of Gaia, self immolation in front of a Morning Show broadcast would be a great way to top Mr. Lee! Dispensing weiners and marshmallows on sticks ahead of time to passersby would be nice.

See you in hell, you tree hugging whackjob. The cop that shot him should get a freakin medal for saving the taxpayers the expense of a trial. Also, putting him in prison wouldn't be fair to the other prisoners who would have to listen to his drivel.

I think it is great that you have a cause, and saving the planet is a very admirable cause, but attacking Discovery Communications in Silver Spring is not the way to affect the change you want.

Discovery is the largest non-fiction network in the world - I love and watch their programming all the time; I am also a trained wildlife biologist. I am not employed by Discovery (I work for a State natural resources agency) but do live in Silver Spring. To me, Discovery's mission is to educate and inspire viewers to care about nature, wildlife, the landscapes that surround them and the Earth as a whole. In the same breath, they are also showing people what not to wear, how to build motorcycles, how to grow from adversity faced and how to live healthier. Do you see a theme? They are in the business of entertaining in the hopes of changing behavior - Discovery is not the vehicle for change it is their viewers, and most people are not watching it because they are going to change - they watch for the entertainment value.

I find much fault in your statements that they glorify those that rob us of fish populations and natural resources - mainly because it is blatantly false. Their commercial harvesting programming chronicles the lives of fisherman, how they harvest the very seafood you probably enjoy regularly and how they stay within the legal seasons and creel limits imposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. None of these waterman have gone over their quotas set forth by these government agencies…. Because if they did, they would loose their license, boats and income. Discovery is getting viewers to think about what it takes to get the food they enjoy into the local markets and eventually their dinner tables. If the participants in these shows are glorified, it is because of the viewers.

Because a corporation cannot get people, viewers, or customers to change behaviors when the medium is not personal in nature - one should not find what Discovery has in its programming at fault. And, protesting outside of their headquarters when they do so much for the ecology of North America and the Earth in general is a bit crazy. You are treating them as a scapegoat for your frustrations of the population.

Instead of a protest, have you thought about starting a web resource or non-profit that will teach and show people what they can do in their daily lives to save the planet? Your scope could be a neighborhood for starters, building upon success after success until you are on a larger scale of a county or several metropolitan areas and then grow larger. The power lies with these organizations to affect change and not in a protest of a communications company - your energies could be put to so much better use and a greater good.

The beauty of living in America is that we can have differing views, even on the same subject, and even though I respect your cause of saving the planet - your focus on Discovery Communications is way off target. If you wanted to see a change in Discovery's programming, why don't you work on some new show ideas, write up some proposals and request a meeting… I am certain they are always looking for new show ideas and would welcome a fresh perspective - but protesting is not effective for what you want to do.

I disagree. Discovery is hugely responsible for what is happening and their ineffective programming must be protested and dealt with. The time for pussy-footing around the subject is done. It's time to protest them until they start changing their stupid message. They ARE glorifying the damned fishermen who are overfishing the planet and I would think that you would see that for yourself instead of defending them.

These people are harmful to the planet. Them and their glorifying of civilization and it's machinery. All they are intested in is SELLING stuff. I'm not interested in their greedy, corporate profits. They have to get on board with saving the planet and I'd better start seeing some REAL improvement in the news that things are changing. If not, then they can get the hell out of the television business altogether.

I already tried to submit to them ideas even though I had a feeling that they were working for their own greedy ends and it didn't do anything. But I'm not satisfied with that, I'm not asking them anymore. I'm TELLING them they have to save the planet and lay off the propaganda.

If your proposals were written anything like your posts (with the tone, etc) then I am certain they were not well received. Their message is not stupid and very effective... and they are not glorifying the damned fishermen who are overfishing.... those on the deadliest catch stick to quotas. Quotas are in place so fish are not overfished. What is not being covered is the international vessels that are fishing illegally and over harvesting - not the ones their programming because they are being observed by several Federal and State natural resource agencies. For profit companies are to be greedy because their sole existence is to make money. But, if you look at Discovery as a whole they are a very solid company with a modest operating budget, great corporate sponsorship of hundreds of non-profits, they are working on LEED-Green Certification and they do so much for their employees and Silver Spring - we wouldn't have a downtown if it wasn't for Discovery. Enjoy your protest that is unneccessary and just plain crazy.

Really? Level with me. Are you really committed to this cause,as flawed as it is, or are you just a publicity whore? Becuase, if you were not a whore, I would hate to say that you are the type of uninformed, ass-hat that gives real conservationists, a bad name. I'm just saying.

Oh, and before you start slamming that "Planet Green" show again, according Discovery's website, "Planet Green" is not a program, it is a soon to be website and network.

Irv: So ummmm...what do you want to do next week? Steve: Well I was thinking of wasting my time, fighting some windmills. Irv: Yeah me too, but I really wanted to hurt legitimate causes, by staging a protest against a really caring company. Steve: Why? Irv: Good point...WTF, let's play guitar Hero and invite Lee. Steve: Nah, Lee's a buzz kill.

If you're not willing to heed the advice of others and take what they are telling you seriously, how can you expect the same of anyone else - including the world's largest non-fiction content brand? Wildforwildlife raises some irrefutable points that you blatantly ignore. Do you think that you are responsible for knowledge everywhere and that facts begin and end with you? Aren't you willing to search out the truth before firing your ignorance at the rest of us? I suggest you take that week that you're planning to protest and spend the time doing some research instead. Start with researching the way the television business works, focusing particularly on the standards for submitting show proposals. Then research Discovery Communications and ALL the programs they broadcast across ALL the networks for which they are responsible. The claims you make about their programming are as absurdly false as the theory that the Earth is flat. Finally, take a writing class. I suggest extensive immersion in the art of persuasion. You are the poster child for why Americans are hated throughout the world. You probably submitted a half-assed proposal for a show. You got rejected. Now, rather than putting some actual work into your cause, (the original one of selling a show idea to Discovery), you raise a personal jihad against a global company who personifies a villain to you in your fantasy world, but which in reality brings education about the world to the world. Did you take any of your ideas to other cable channels responsible for airing non-fiction content? National Geographic's headquarters are also in the DC/Metro area. God forbid you should actually put a little effort into getting what you want. In this country, it is possible for anyone to be anything they want, as long as they are willing to work for it. It's that last bit that people like you tend to ignore. In closing, I would just like to ask a few questions. What do you mean when you say you are "TELLING" them they have to save the planet? Do you know how ridiculously hilarious that sounds? Who do you think you are? If you think you have that much power, why not make the object of your revolt the government of this or any other country for that matter? Do you see what we're saying? Do you get it yet?

you crazy Mfin' diamond.
As much as I wanted to be serious and give this guy a mental throttling, I just couldn't take him seriously. So I tip my hat to you Mfer for a brilliant post.

As for you Lee...I really want to know if you are serious or just looking for exposure. Seriously, just tell us now; I am a very petty person, so if don't come clean now I wind up spending my weekend with a bottle of Templeton's Rye, drunk dialing, and making fun of you to anyone who will listen. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and work on my rippeling abs. OH YEAH!!!

I don't care what 'laws' are there that say that just because they go by quotas that means it's ok. But what they are doing is a symptom of the disease that is part of civilization. It's a small part, but it's still damaging to the environment. Look at the state of the world and never mind what the laws allow. The laws 'allow' people to drive cars that cause pollution, right? So apparently, the laws favor the auto manufacturers over the planet, and how can that be good?

The Discovery has no excuse and money should not be an excuse for them. The world is at stake, did \I tell you that? Their Green Certification doesn't mean anything to me. It's a worthless piece of paper if you ask me.

And if it wasn't for Discovery, maybe the Silver Spring area would have less 'development' where the whole area grows into a city at the expense of other creatures.

I saw the Planet Green site. More bullshit about recycling. It seems to me that recycling itself is not going to save the planet, IS IT NOW? Corporations, however, reap tremendous savings in recycling garbage back into all-important PRODUCT. So damn that 'show', because that's all it is.

Of course, this subject needs as much exposure as it can get. The more the better. But, you are probably asking me that because it seems like I might just want attention myself. But why the hell would I risk the wrath of the networks by burning bridges? It's really not about me. It's about the pandas, lions, giraffes, dung beetles, worms, cockroaches, mice, eagles, sharks, whales, and don't forget about the gorillas not to mention the squirrels. Yes, even the numerous squirrels.

I want to know what creatures are being negatively impacted from the development? Squirrels, Sparrows, Finches, Woodpeckers, Salamanders? Do you have a species list or are you going off of your gut feeling? The species in the Washington, DC Metro area are suffering more from stray, feral and roaming pets than development - are you protesting the Humane Societies of the area to capture these pets and place them into loving homes? This would certainly help to save the planet, since it is at stake.

Are you saying you do not drive, take public transportation, live with electricity, running water and eat food? Of course you do, you have to live and living produces waste and by products. No civilization has ever lived in harmony with the environment, there has always been some strain on the system that caused an imbalance. I know the planet is at stake, but I also know the science that goes into gauging such and have full confidence in it. You don't need to tell me that, I certainly do need you to inform me of this - I am more intouch with what is going on than you - but unlike you I work every day to make changes and bring people closer to our wild places and mother nature. You are not bringing people together, you strive to divide which will make you message ineffective.

I do not know why you cannot see that the people posting here are trying to help you, offer guidance and point you in more fruitful endeavors. We are not the enemy, we are logical professionals that want to see you succeed, but not with a protest on a company that is doing good and have a strong corporate conscious. Discovery is clearly not the enemy. You should set up a booth in downtown Silver Spring and invite passersby and others over to your booth to learn how they can save the planet in their daily lives. Yelling at a building and harrassing their intelligent and hard working employees will not get you anything except police attention.

Lee, Save the Planet just take a different course - it will pay off in dividends because you don't have any platform, science, or truths to stand on.

In all seriousness Lee, listen to "wildforwildlife." I was busting your chops last week, but really I though this "protest" was about you needing publicity. I believe now that you are serious; and while your expression and desire to better the condition of the planet is justified, you are being foolish and irrational. The world needs balance (go rent the movie Koyaanisqatsi) and you need a direction and a venue to aid in achieving that balance. Please, do not go through with this. Discovery is not the enemy; you will make yourself look like an idiot and come away feeling disenchanted, and likely not to act in a positive, well thought out way toward your cause. And that my friend, will truly be a tragedy.

Nope. This is happening. Why does it bother YOU that I'm protesting the Discovery Channel?? Do you work there? Like I said, if NO ONE agrees with me, I'll be standing there all alone like a fool and then I'll leave and you'll not hear from me again. The public will have spoken that they are happy with the Discovery Channel and that's IT.

I am sort of setting up a booth downtown Silver Spring. Right in front of the Discovery Channel. So I'm following your advice. You should be happy about that.

I am LOOKING for solutions so that we may not NEED electricity and all that stuff. But the question is not so much that we use that stuff, but rather, WHY are we continually building more and more of those things? When we run out of land, we build 'up.' And up and up and UP! How high can we go? Until every square inch is covered by concrete and farmland? Then it will really be too late.

Discovery is the enemy. They must be protested into saving the planet and reducing their propaganda. But if you feel that this is wrong, then don't show up. You're welcome to stay at home and watch TV or do whatever it is you do.

And if I look like an idiot, so what? But I won't fail in this. This is going to happen and Discovery is going to change their course and start saving the planet. I will never personally feel like an idiot for trying.

I said before that I do not work for Discovery. I live in Silver Spring, MD and have since 2001. I work for one of the Washington DC Metro Area State natural resource management agencies. I specialize in managing and conserving our natural resources through understanding species (flora and fauna) biology and the perspections/beliefs of the people who live in the landscapes with them - it is a field called the human dimensions of natural resources. It is basically sociology and wildlife biology fused to manage ecosystems holistically. I also specialize in marrying technology and natural resources management together to get a big picture of what is going on and how resources are used.

I am happy that you are listening to some of what we say, I think everyone here posting understands and 'gets' your message and sees that you care about your cause. What you are not getting is that Discovery as a company understands and 'gets' your cause as well, and doing a protest against an entity that 'gets' your cause and is right there with you (but might not be at the same level you are from your point of view) is fruitless. If someone takes note of your protest and then calls Discovery out on the accusations you made against them; their facts, science and lists and lists of how they are working to better the planet will squash all of your claims and you will look the fool. This is the one thing we here posting to you do not want this to happen because you have a good cause. I think we all want you genuinely to be successful in carrying your message to the public. We are also going out of our way to offer you sound, professional advise on how to make a positive difference, instead of a negative one. If you do not take the advice given, that is your choice.... but have you notice there has not been one person posting that is in agreement with you on this protest? A protest of one is just a struggle of ones self, an internal struggle and not a movement toward changing the greater good.

Just think about every piece of advice that was offered here, instead of reacting to each post as an attack. Nothing posted was an attack on your character, they are to persuade you to take a different path to getting your message out. You already have a web site, change the focus to just saving the planet.... if you disagree with Discovery's programming (which you seem to be confusing their various networks with actual shows - their networks are Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, Health, Military, Science, Planet Green....etc.) ask you site visitors to not watch their programming. This is a much better protest that will not lead to an attack on your credibility and character, which will happen if you are the lone protester throwing stones or the leader of the protest in general. Just think about every post that was listed here. We took a lot of time to offer advice and post messages to you....
